Clear Skin Pro Laser
Introducing the Er: Glass1540 applicator, featuring twice the power of previous solutions and combining non-ablative laser technology with simultaneous contact cooling and vacuum technology. Developed especially for acne, this award-winning laser is here to deliver results.
FAQ
The Alma ClearSkin PRO is a highly advanced fractionated, non-ablative 1540nm Er:Glass laser engineered to deliver controlled thermal energy into the dermis (the skin’s deeper collagen-rich layer) while preserving the epidermis. Its wavelength is strongly absorbed by water, allowing precise targeting of acne, inflammation, scarring, enlarged pores, and deeper dermal skin rejuvenation — all with no downtime and suitable for all Fitzpatrick skin types.
1. Fractionated, Non-Ablative Er:Glass Laser Energy
ClearSkin PRO emits a long wavelength that penetrates deep into the dermis, targeting water in skin tissue to generate controlled photothermal energy. This creates tiny zones of thermal stimulation known as microthermal coagulated columns, which trigger the release of immune and inflammatory mediators. These mediators activate the skin’s natural repair processes, resulting in neo-collagenesis — the formation of new collagen fibers that restore structural support to the skin.
Neo-collagenesis occurs when fibroblasts — the key cells in the dermis responsible for producing collagen and elastin — are activated by heat. Once stimulated, fibroblasts increase the synthesis of collagen (which strengthens and thickens the skin) and elastin (which improves elasticity), supporting tissue remodelling and the formation of firmer, smoother, more resilient skin.
The thermal cascade also elevates heat shock proteins (HSPs), which further enhance elastin production, support fibroblast activity, and accelerate collagen remodelling. Additionally, the heat improves microcirculation, oxygenation, and hydration within the dermis, promoting cellular renewal and a naturally rejuvenated appearance.
- Stimulates fibroblast activity
- Promotes new collagen and elastin synthesis
- Remodels dermal tissue for smoother, firmer skin
- Improves dermal density, elasticity, and firmness
- Enhances cell turnover blood flow, oxygenation, and skin hydration
Non-Ablative Technology
A non-ablative laser delivers heat to the dermis without without vaporising or damaging the surface. This allows deep tissue stimulation for collagen production, skin tightening, improved texture, and acne or scar treatment, all with minimal downtime.
Fractional Technology
A fractional laser delivers energy in microscopic columns, leaving surrounding tissue intact. This promotes rapid healing, targeted treatment, and collagen remodelling while minimising damage to healthy skin.
2. Vacuum-Assisted Delivery
A built-in vacuum gently lifts the skin closer to the laser source. This allows for:
- More precise energy delivery
- Improved penetration depth
- Reduced discomfort
- Enhanced ability to reach active acne lesions and deep-seated congestion, as well as extraction of accumulated sebaceous material.
3. Continuous Contact Cooling
Cooling technology protects the epidermis while enabling high dermal temperatures for therapeutic effect, allowing effective treatment with minimal discomfort.
1. Thermal Destruction of Acne-Causing Bacteria
Heat generated at the sebaceous gland level targeted by the long wavelength of the laser disrupts and destroys the environment that Cutibacterium acnes (C. acne bacteria) relies on, therefore reducing bacterial load and bacterial proliferation.
2. Regulation of Sebaceous (Oil) Activity
The thermal energy regulates overactive sebaceous gland activity, decreasing sebum production and breakouts over time.
3. Anti-Inflammatory Dermal Heating
Deep heating reduces inflammation, redness, and swelling, supporting faster healing and clearer skin.
For Severe Pustular Acne
The combination of vacuum extraction and contact cooling removes pore congestion while simultaneously destroying bacteria and relieving inflammation, promoting rapid improvement.
ClearSkin PRO is ideal for clients with:
- All grades of acne
- Oily or congested skin
- Enlarged pores
- Post-inflammatory acne scars
- Atrophic (indented) acne scars
- Uneven texture
- Inflammation
- Fine lines, wrinkles and early signs of ageing
- Loss of collagen and elastin
- Mild skin laxity
- Overall dullness and dehydration
Most clients find ClearSkin PRO very tolerable. Sensations may include:
- A mild stinging or “rubber-band snap”
- Gentle prickling, tingling, or warmth
- Light suction from the vacuum
- Coolness on the surface due to contact cooling
Numbing cream can be applied to minimise discomfort if needed.
- Mild warmth and sensitivity, like a light sunburn
- Slight redness, flushing and warming feeling for a few hours post treatment
- Very mild swelling
- Tightness or dryness for 1–3 days
- Slight gridding patterns can be visible
- No peeling or extreme skin disruption
- In acne-prone clients, heat may occasionally bring underlying breakouts or clogged pores to the surface, which typically settle quickly
Individual responses vary, but effects are temporary and usually resolve quickly. A more comprehensive Pre and Post Care Document is provided following treatment.
ClearSkin PRO is a true no-downtime laser.
- Normal activities can be resumed immediately
- Makeup is usually fine the next day
For optimal results:
- Avoid heat, saunas, and heavy exercise for the first 24 hours
- Minimise direct sun exposure for the duration of your treatment program to prevent pigmentation changes and unwanted inflammation
- Use gentle, hydrating skincare for 5 days
- Avoid retinoids, acids, vitamin C for 5 days
- Apply SPF 50 daily
- Avoid picking or squeezing breakouts
- Stay hydrated to support collagen production
- Acne & Scarring: 4–6 sessions at 2–3 week intervals
- Skin Rejuvenation: 4–6 sessions at 2–3 week intervals
- 24–72 hours: Reduced inflammation and redness
- 2–4 weeks: Texture, pore size, and skin clarity improvements
- 12–16 weeks: Collagen remodelling continues
- Results are cumulative and build with each session
Note: Results are progressive and cumulative; one session will yield visible results however will not achieve full skin transformation. Lifestyle, genetics, the severity of the indications being treated, age, skincare, and session number all influence outcomes. Clients receive personalised recommendations to support skin health, immunity, and regulation of acne bacteria.
